DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;
Political fragmentation: the rise and rise of the minor party vote 
&nbsp\;
This month&rsquo\;s talk is from Danielle Wood\, Program Director at the Grattan Institute\, who will discuss the rising minor party vote in Australia and the implications for policy and politics.
&nbsp\;
Synopsis&nbsp\;
The minor party vote in Australia is on the rise. And it is rising faster in the regions than the cities. Politicians in the major parties are nervous and looking to win back voters\, but lack of understanding of the causes of this shift risks bad policy.
In this presentation\, Danielle will explore the economic\, social and institutional explanations for the changes in voting patterns. She will discuss how major parties can best respond to win back disillusioned voters.
Danielle will also touch on the role of think tanks in influencing public policy within Australia.
